Hot Lunch - Order lunch for your child

Lunch

We’re excited to announce that we have partnered with Lunchbox once again to offer you some new and exciting lunch choices! Please note that ordering from Lunchbox is not mandatory; it’s simply an added bonus for our community.

All orders must be placed online, as we cannot accept any cash payments at the office for these lunches.

Currently, we do not have any funding for hot lunches, but we hope that the Lunchbox options will enhance your lunchtime experience! 

Please note that we do not cancel hot lunches on snow days.

First hot lunch is September 23, 2025 (Order deadline is September 21 @ 12pm)

Tuesday’s (Rotating between Papa’s and Subway)

Thursday’s Dominos

Happy ordering!

Medical Conditions

This message is intended for the families of students with prevalent medical conditions where documentation is needed by the school:

To help us gather important medical information about your child, we ask that you call the school and we will direct you to the correct forms.

Daily medication will need to be dropped off at the school. Students cannot carry medications in their backpack, at any time. Please call the school to make arrangements for drop off.


Terry Fox Run - We have already raised $500! WOW!

Our Fairfield Terry Fox run will take place on Friday, September 26th from 2:15-3:00 pm. We will begin in the gymnasium with a kick off assembly lead by Ms. Scott's and Ms. Pennell's classes, followed by a run/walk around school property. On its 45th anniversary, this year's theme is 'Finish It'! Please help Fairfield to support this great cause by donating using our school link: https://schools.terryfox.ca/103866
